Directions

PRALINE Crumble: Mix butter, sugar and spices in large bowl (or in small bowl for trial recipe). Add wafer pieces and nuts; mix lightly. Spread evenly onto bottom of parchment paper-lined full-sheet pan (or onto bottom of lined half-sheet pan for trial recipe).

BAKE in 350ºF-standard oven 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown, stirring after 6 min. Cool completely in pan. Break into smaller pieces. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use.

TART Shells: Roll out pie crusts to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough to fit 24 (4-inch) tart pans (or to fit 6 tart pans for trial recipe); press onto bottom and up side of each pan. Prick sides and bottoms with fork; place on sheet pan. Bake in 450ºF-standard oven 12 to 15 min. or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

PUMPKIN Mousse: Beat pumpkin and cream cheese with mixer until well blended. Add vanilla, 1 tsp. of the cinnamon (or 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon for trial recipe), nutmeg and ginger; mix well. Set aside.

POUR milk into large mixer bowl. Add pudding mix; beat with mixer until thickened, stopping occasionally to scrape bottom and side of bowl. Fold in 3 cups of the whipped topping (or 3/4 cup of the whipped topping for trial recipe). Add pumpkin mixture; beat on low speed until blended.

FOR each serving: Spread 1/3 cup of the Pumpkin Mousse into 1 Tart Shell; sprinkle with 3 Tbsp. Praline Crumble. Top with 1-1/2 Tbsp. whipped topping and a dash of the remaining cinnamon.
